#3f550crgb(63, 85, 12)hsl(78, 75%, 19%)oklch(0.417 0.098 125.8)Charcoal, Saddle Brown and Sage Green lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
